The cost would probably far out-seed what you'd be getting paid to rent one and also, if you've never used a 400 prime it would take a little getting use to coming up from a 70-300 due to the fixed focal length and weight (if you've considered your need a monopod as well)

It's certainly a fantastic opportunity and one that you will enjoy. I'm a club photographer and travel all around the country. I get paid and although I love the job, for the hours it involves I would never do it for free. The club owns all the photos I take for them but they use them superbly...

I haven't heard of the Phottix one's but certainly something to look into. Yougnuo one's for remote triggering off the hot shoe (non-flash) are very hit or miss and I can't really trust them. Need something that I will know will fire virtually every time.

I have a set of Yougnuo that I have used from time to time but I'm finding the reliability a problem. Are Pocket Wizards the only other option for guaranteed reliability when shooting wireless? Rob, what are you using at Charlton?

Keep this up Steven. Interesting to read other peoples experiences especially when your in a similar boat to myself.

Got a weekend at Wembley for both the Play-off finals.

It's a scam. I was in the same boat as you about 18 months ago. I knew it was a scam but thought I would e-mail just to see what I got back. I asked the right questions that confirmed it for me. I looked for 6 months for a 400 2.8 and one finally cropped up on eBay for the right price. Best...

My was the pins as adding a little graphite from a HB pencil helped it last a lot longer but in the end I needed it changed and never had the problem again.

I had the same problem. It's no coincidence with the cameras as I had the problem on both my D3s and D700. I had an older version of the 300 2.8 and by changing the lens aperture ring (that doesn't feature on newer lens) it fixed the problem. I believe it was faulty contact pins. I was told...

One thing that I have noticed is to connect your dongle to your laptop using a USB to USB lead. Brought a 3.0 version and it allows the possibility to move the dongle around to find a decent signal without moving the laptop. Not the most convenient in some situations but an inexpensive option if...

Weston Homes Community Stadium - Colchester United Parking Car parking is available to accredited media at the ground. Just phone the club beforehand to reserve a space in the media parking area. £6 afterwise. Entry to the ground is via main reception where there is a Press stand inside the...

Under the new EPPP rules set by the Premier League they do. This is Academy teams that have a Level 1 or 2 status (or have applied for). I'm unsure teams of Level 3 or under as they are governed by the Football League and I'm unsure whether the DataCo license as such is applied as strictly...

I can confirm this as well. Even youth team games are treated exactly the same as first team ones.

Although they are a little steep in price for what they really are - they certainly help and will reduce you getting frustrated every 5 minutes on a cold evening. You only then have the worry of keeping yourself warm.

This is great advice :thumbs:
